I've made it a standard practice to always install my own copy of Perl
for the installation of DBI, DBD::Oracle, and any other module I may 
need.

The benefits are 2 fold: You don't run the risk of breaking anything
dependent on the system installed version of Perl, and you can install
it the way you want it.

For instance I always install a /u01/app/perl version of Perl on linux
boxes.  It makes life much easier when you install another copy of Perl.
